Driver Application Knowledge By Jesse Pierson, Recruiter
Tips for submitting your application
From a recruiter’s perspective more than 50% of incoming apps need more than 1 hour of unnecessary additional work. This not only looks bad for the person applying, it slows down the hiring process, and one of the biggest hurdles with onboarding a new lead is the time it takes to process the application. Through my experience the following is a list of general tips to help aide applicants in the process of applying with a new carrier. By having a clean application with your “ducks in a row” it helps the applicant appear organized, professional, and helps put their best foot forward. • #1 Incomplete timeline. If you submit an application that has “Date Gaps” it can cause the app to get dismissed prior to even getting looked at. If the information is missing the recruiter has to start asking a bunch of truly unnecessary questions, it wastes your time as a driver and the time of the recruiter. Make sure your dates are correct and ALL previous employers are included. This is especially true for the last 3 years, as it is mandatory for DOT regulations. • #2 Errors in the application. BEFORE YOU SUBMIT, take a minute at the end of the application process to REVIEW all information, double check yourself. It looks really bad on you if the application is a bunch of mistakes and errors. Recruiters think, if they don’t care about the app, then they probably don’t care their driving logs, or their personal 22 • www.TankDriversUNLIMITED.com
care, or their DOT documents. A bad, or disorganized application reflects sloppy on the driver. • BONUS the driver’s pulse app is a great resource aiding drivers and companies in the application process, however, be careful using the “autofill” feature. While convenient, the autofill will pull your old information, and may select “do not contact” for each of your previous employers. This delays the process significantly, and may get your application thrown out before it even gets looked at. • #3 Not including recent accident reports. (Be proactive) every good company is going to find out about an accident, and they are going to ask for the accident report. It goes a long way if you have it ready, and are upfront about it. Include the details of what happened, was it DOT-recordable, was it preventable, were you ticketed, were you at fault. All of these are common questions to expect. • #4 Do NOT bad-mouth your current employer. Talking bad about current employer, there is a difference between being honest, and bad mouthing. As a recruiter, if you bad mouth them, you are going to bad mouth me if things don’t work out There have been times an application was discarded simply because there was too many corrections, or errors that needed to be made. Do yourself a favor, a few minutes to double check your application can make you look like a better applicant, and help get you hired. It also saves time for everybody involved. •

Blue Light and Your Eyes: What You Need To Know
By
the time average American children reach age 17, their eyes will have spent the equivalent of nearly six years looking at digital devices, according to findings from a new survey by VSP Vision Care. While the survey shows that parents are concerned with increasing screen time, it found that nearly 60 percent have little to no awareness of blue light -- the high-energy light emitted from digital devices -- and its impact on vision. As blue light enters the eye, it causes visual strain because it is defocused in front of the retina and scatters, creating an effect visually perceived as glare. The eyes are then forced to work overtime to focus and process the wavelengths of light. From smartphones, to tablets, laptops, televisions, and even CFL and LED lighting,
optometrist, Dr. Gary Morgan. “Technology continues to change the way we live and allows us to be more efficient and connected, but despite its benefits, we must be mindful of the impact of increased blue light exposure on our eyes.” Dr. Morgan offers the following tips to reduce blue light exposure and maintain good eye health. • Get an Eye Exam: An annual trip to the eye doctor is critical for the entire family. Ask your eye doctor about the best options to help reduce eye strain, including eyeglass lenses with coatings that reflect and absorb blue light, like Sharper Image TechShield. • Observe the 20/20/20 Rule: Give eyes a break every 20 minutes and spend 20 seconds looking at something at least 20 feet away. • Maintain Digital Distance: Find a comfortable working distance from your screen. This is especially important for children, since the intensity of light increases exponentially the closer our eyes are to light sources. Children have shorter arms and therefore receive a more intense dose of blue light from devices. They should hold devices as far away from their eyes as is comfortable. • Lower Screen Brightness: Turn down the brightness level of device screens to reduce blue light exposure, especially during evening hours. • Limit Screen Time Before Bed: Blue light can slow melatonin production, which helps us sleep. Reducing exposure to blue light a couple of hours before bed may make it easier to go to sleep.
today’s family is surrounded by devices that produce blue light. As we spend increasing amounts of time staring at screens, blue light exposure is reaching unprecedented levels. This has led to an alarming increase in reports of digital eye strain, especially amongst children who are experiencing tired, sore eyes, headaches and trouble focusing. “At home, in classrooms and at work, our eyes are exposed to blue light,” says VSP
More information about the effects of blue light and protection options can be found at SharperImageVision.com. “While medical research continues to study possible long-term health impacts of blue light, we can take practical steps to reduce exposure, ease digital eye strain and maintain good vision,” says Dr. Morgan.
